Developing the International VAR+SC (Vitality, Attraction and Retention + Social Cohesion) index

The project develops and pilots an internationally comparable EVPY Index (vitality, attraction/retention, and social cohesion) to complement economic and demographic indicators by capturing the societal sustainability of population growth and diversification. Work proceeds through five phases: mapping existing indices, building the indicator framework and index logic (v1.0), expert/stakeholder validation, pilot calculation and visualization, and publication (policy brief and a roadmap for further development and maintenance)
